As president of our society I am very happy to report that the 30th Annual Scientific Meeting 2013 in Toulouse has been a very successful event with great science, discussions and interaction thanks to our SPC chair, Prof. Xavier Golay, and our LOC chair, Prof. Isabelle Berry. The 30th Anniversary of our congress was well celebrated and I think everyone enjoyed the very humorous 30th Anniversary Session.
Our next meeting will be held jointly with the ISMRM in Milan in May 2014, which we are very much looking forward to. Please note that ESMRMB members benefit from reduced registration fees!
In 2014 we will also continue with our successful educational programme. Let me encourage you to check out our School of MRI, Lectures on MR and Hands-On MRI courses 2014 and make sure to register well in advance to assure your place in your course of interest, as places are limited.
Furthermore, our journal MAGMA is continuing to convey new scientific results as well as updates on new MR achievements.

The ESMRMB Congress 2013 was once again a huge success with participants from 44 countries attending at the 30th Annual Scientific Meeting in Toulouse/FR contributing to its success as well as celebrating our 30th Anniversary!

The Joint Annual Meeting ISMRM-ESMRMB is the largest meeting dedicated to promoting communication, research, development and applications in the field of magnetic resonance in medicine and biology, as well as providing an invaluable channel and facility for continuing education in the field. Join over 6,000 clinicians, physicists, engineers, biochemists and technologists from more than 70 countries around the world for the premier meeting in the MR global community.

The ESMRMB is proud to present its educational programme being offered to different target groups in 2014:

School of MRI -education for physicians and technicians/radiographers
The School of MRI continues its programme in 2014 with 10 advanced clinical courses. The programme is already available on our homepage. Pre-registration is already available now!

Lectures on MR - education for MR physicists and other basic or clinical scientists
Educational courses, exercises, and practical demonstrations on MR Physics, Spectroscopy and Engineering; 9 courses are planned in 2014.

Hands-On MRI - education for MRI technologists, radiographers and interested physicians
Courses that combine lectures as well as vendor specific hands-on training on the workstation and scanner will be on the agenda in 2014 - find out more here.

Please just send a short email to office@esmrmb.org to be included to our mailing list and make sure to inform us which course programme you would like to receive all information on!

As the ESMRMB is eager to provide an all-embracing overview of events in the field of MR we want you to join and contribute! With this online tool, we offer you a platform to find courses, workshops and congresses of your interest and promote your events free of charge.
Be part of it and use our ESMRMB Event Calendar just as you wish!

Earlier this year, the ESR-led Alliance for MRI successfully concluded its campaign to secure the future use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technology and patient access in Europe. Launched in 2007, the Alliance for MRI brought together scientific societies, MEPs and patient groups to fight for adequate regulation of MRI.

Due to the Alliance for MRI’s relentless efforts the European Parliament finally approved the revised Directive on the protection of workers from electromagnetic fields including the demanded derogation for MRI, which was followed by an unanimous adoption by the Council in June this year.

As an allied sciences society of the ESR we would like to inform you on the following:
The ESR Leadership Institute is for active ESR members who are willing to comment on the ongoing activities of their society. This body also serves as pool of committed ESR members not yet holding any office for potential future recruitment within the organs of the society.

Recently MultiHance® (gadobenate dimeglumine) has received a formal indication for use in breast MRI; in fact, the U.K. Medicines and Health Care products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has approved the use of MultiHance® in MRI of the breast in adult patients within a Mutual Recognition Procedure (MRP) that involves several European countries.
In the new prescribing information, MultiHance® is indicated for “MRI of the breast, for the detection of malignant lesions in patients where breast cancer is known or suspected on the basis of previous mammography or ultrasound results”.
Please also consult the full prescribing information; for more information, please read the Bracco Press Release.

Please contact the ESMRMB Office in case you have any questions or require further details. All details on the ESMRMB activities can also be found online at www.esmrmb.org!
